Alligator Bayou, September 2002

Rick and Elizabeth Baumler and I launched at Alligator Bayou and paddled through Cypress Lake toward Spanish Lake.  We didn't make it all the way to Spanish Lake due to water hyacinths choking the path near the entrance to the lake.  We were able to paddle through the duckweed though.  The photos were taken by Rick and Elizabeth.

Elizabeth is paddling my Wee Lassie canoe and I'm in Rick's Guillemot.

This is a picture of Elizabeth and me at the entrance to Cypress Lake.  Alligator Bayou flows from the lake into Bayou Manchac.

I'm leading the way through the duckweed.

This picture was taken between Cypress Lake and Spanish Lake.

I'm on the left in Rick's Guillemot and he's in Wendi's Guillemot.

Rick is looking back.
